Okay, ladies and gentlemen, THIS is the "Coming Home Barbie" given out by the White Swan Hotel in Guangzhou in 2005.
Note her lovely, pristine condition.
Well, as you may have read from our earlier posts, we had no luggage in China and, therefore, no toys for our daughter. But we DID have "Coming Home Barbie". So Her Imperial Majesty, aged 22 months, was given the C.H. Barbie. No toy purchases from Carrefours or Jennifer's place ever rivaled C.H. Barbie in Her Imperial Majesty's affections. Poor C.H. Barbie was IT.
In fact, more than two years later, the C.H. Barbie has continued to be a big favorite. Unfortunately, that does not bode well for Barbie, herself, as this current day photo indicates:
Heaven only knows where Barbie's accompanying baby went; I suspect the poor thing never made it out of China. *sigh*
